WW 28th September 2011

Well what a turnout for a Whitty Boy Walk, at least double the recent number.

And the youngster (the Vintner) was proving all night he had better eyesight than the rest, pointing out a Lizard, a frog and a toad all before the traverse of Leather Tor.

WW 21st September 2011

Well yes it was a wee bit damp and it was rather dark as we set out from Princetown on our adventure over the hummocks round and down to Hart Tor and up to the famous trig point on to Older Bridge for a warming drink over the hill and down to Peatcot then round the wall and past Bull park and the old level crossing gate to return and go to The Plume which seems a lot cosier than before with beer and very useful guidance on shopping at Lidls.

WW 14th September 2011

On a cool and clear evening there were just 3 of us. Out along the track from the Fox and Hounds to the moor and then along the old tramway track. Getting darker earlier and earlier, the sun had already set as we walked into the darkness. Around the side of Great Nodden and up to the points. A change of direction to Great Links Tor with much water under foot. The moon came out and was bright as we took our break on Great Links Tor. Next across to Arms Tor and then down to the the stepping stones. Through the fields scattering the sheep, before returning to the Fox and Hounds only to be offered 'Cream Teas'. We resisted this to settle for something a little more fulfilling.

WW 7th September 2011

Well it was rather grey
Plenty of people
For a fine walk round
Past all the felled Larch
Raddick Lane and Cramber
Past the abandoned tent
To the Tor and on to Hart
Down to the leat
As it turned from grey to black
To the packed Royal Oak
With songs and music
